This photograph was taken in Nara, where deer have long been regarded as messengers of the gods, and today they move leisurely through the city and people, no longer just a symbol of faith, but participants in the city's culture.
The deer in the foreground stared at the camera, as if asking us: ** "You are the passers-by, right?" There is no fear in those eyes, only the calm of understanding and coexistence.
In this instant, the boundaries between faith, human beings, and nature blurred, leaving only respect for life and silence of distance.
